MGLYNN's REINSTATEMENT DE-
MANDED-A COMMITTEE
TO SEE THE ARCH
BISHOP.
The mass meeting of the parisbioners OF 81.
Stephens Church last night to protest against tbs
removal Of DR.. McGlynn was large and demon.
stratfve. The low basement OF the church was
packed with q solid mass of men and women
standing either on the floor Oh the benches
Scarcely any one sat, except the secretary, Mr..
McAulife, and q few women. Hundreds could not
gain entrance at all. When the meeting opened
il was estimated that there were between 1000
and 5000 ia and around the building 1t had
been announced that the meeting would begin at
Z 80, but long before that there was o crowd
around the doors both in Twenty-eigth and
lwenty-ninth sts that completely blocked these
thoroughfares. great many outsiders were no.
ticed among the gathering, but the majority were
members Of the congregation.
About o'clock, just the throngs began to
pour in through the doors, Father DOnnelly ap.
peared In the passageway and declared that no
moss meeting for any such purpose as was pro.
posed should be held in the church. II am
pastor Of ST. Stephens nOw," he said, "and ]
forbid it,
A crowd OF angry women foclScd around him.
But We own the church." they shouted, "snd
we have q perfect right here and shah hold u
meeting here
This reply was greeted with loud cheers by all
who heard it. Father Donnelly again attempted
to protest, but he could do nothing. The crowd
around him began to move, and before he was
hardly aware Of it they had him pushed out on
the sidewalk while the people foclzed into the
building. The pastor was angry at this treat
ment and at once sent o messenger to the
Twenty-irst Precinct Police Station for q squad
Of officers. Roundsman Farley and ten policemen
were sent, and Father Donnelly told them ia
clear the building, which by that time was pretty
well filed. Farley and one or two officers en-
tered, presumably to carry out this order. They
were quickly surrounded by the crowd Of doughty
women and informed that their presence was
highly unwelcome The officers attempted to
proceed. but the passage in front OF them Was
blocked effectively, and in O moment the rounds
man and his assistants were hustled out upon
the sidewalk, the women even threatening tn
take their clubs away from them.
The police did not attempt to make any arrests
or strike anybody. They seemed somewhat ein"
barrassed by the SIT kuation and were at loss how
to act At all events they did not again attempd
to break up the meeting, though they remained
about the church until it was over and thd
assembly dispersed. Father Donnelly sought the
secl,Ision Of the rectory. This episode caused o
great deal of excitement and was the means Oh
making the meeting much shorter than was In
tended. Several speakers Of note were to take
part, but those in charge. fearing raid, hur red
the business as rapidly possible Everything
was over by half-past eight.
Dr. Henry Carey, q SecOnd-ave. druggist, who
presided at the meeting on Sunday night acted
again as chairman. and William McAulihe was
chosen secretary. Mr.. Carey rs stout, horid
man with large sandy side whisl<ers and a power
ful voice. He maintained fair order, using the
Sunday-school gong instead Of gavel for the
PURPOSE lie crowd was in earnest but seemed
10 be entirely united in its support Of DIR. Nc
